Installing the IBM HTTP Server 7.0

Note: If you are planning to use Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), you can skip this section and continue to Installing IBM HTTP Server Plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server.

Note: Although the IBM HTTP Server is integrated into the WebSphere Application Server, the installation is a separate process.

To install the IBM HTTP Server:

1. Insert the WebSphere Application Server Supplement CD, Version 7.0 (32-bit) or extract the downloaded image (if you haven't done so already).

2. Run the install executable that is located in the IHS directory from the extracted location by typically using these commands:

   cd x:\dump\was7_windows\sup1\IHS

   x:\dump\was7_windows\sup1\IHS > install.exe

   where x: is the drive on which you downloaded the WebSphere 7.0 image.

   mount /cdrom

   cd /cdrom

   ./IHS/install.sh

   Note: The syntax of the mount command can vary by platform, and is not required for Sun platforms.
